Ever dream of being Hugh Hefner? Of actually living at the Playboy mansion, surrounded by Playmates ready to do your bidding and fulfill your every desire? I know I sure have! Well, recently the good folks at Arush Games and Playboy magazine joined forces to create the game Playboy: The Mansion. Now you can climb inside the the sexed-up world of Mr. Hefner himself and cruise around the grounds for some lovin’, minglin’ or even business (yes, work actually gets done there too).

Playboy: The Mansion merges state-of-the-art social simulation with traditional role-playing and empire-building gameplay. As Hef, you run the mansion and magazine, and help build them into the dynamic cultural icon and powerful brand they are today. You bump and grind with gorgeous women and rub elbows with celebrities as you pursue the ultimate Playboy lifestyle.

The game features a fully 3-D environment with a dynamic, zoomable camera for you to  zoom in and out to admire the fleshy goods. You can explore multiple swingin’ Playboy estate areas, including the inside of the Mansion, Back Lawn, Pool and Grotto, Gym, Tennis Court, Aviary and Zoo, Game House and Garage. The are hundreds of celebrities, including Carmen Electra, Tom Arnold, Jose Canseco, Willa Ford, Melissa Joan Hart, and Xzibit.

The user can also choose from several different lifestyle goal modes, Empire Mode (fame, circulation, guests, etc), Campaign Mode (campaigns that chronicle Playboy's rise to fame), and The Playboy Philosophy, where you're rewarded for living the good life, having a positive sexual attitude and promoting tolerance and individual freedom.

So the real question is, can I nail Carmen Electra in this game or what? Stay tuned to find out…

The game will be released for PC on November 11, 2004, whith the PS2 and Xbox version following on January 11, 2005.
